When should I use this skill?

This skill is ideal for large C codebases, particularly in game development and decompilation projects (e.g., N64), where cleaning up code structure and removing `extern`s is crucial for progress.

What advanced capabilities does it provide?

It offers guidelines for resolving type conflicts (preferring specific types over `void*`), strategies for breaking circular dependencies, and a process for safely logging unfixable issues to avoid repeated work.

What does the Fix Extern Headers skill do?

It guides Claude in standardizing C code by systematically replacing temporary `extern` function declarations with proper header file inclusions, improving code structure and maintainability.

How does this skill improve my workflow?

It provides a structured, command-based process for refactoring, ensuring consistency. By offering clear strategies for complex issues, it saves time and prevents broken builds.

개발자 도구

Replaces `extern` function declarations with proper header file inclusions to standardize C code.

소개

This skill provides a structured approach for refactoring a C codebase to eliminate `extern` function declarations, a common task in large-scale decompilation projects. It guides the user through identifying issues with a dedicated analysis script, implementing fixes by creating or updating header files, and verifying the build's integrity. The skill also includes best practices for resolving complex type conflicts and circular dependencies, ensuring all functions are correctly defined and included for improved code organization and maintainability.
